Another death has raised Winnipeg's record-setting count of homicides in 2019 to 44.

Const. Jay Murray of the Winnipeg Police Service says at approximately 4:20 p.m., on Friday afternoon a man came into police headquarters and told officers he had killed a family member.

Murray says that soon after that a caller to police reported finding an injured male at a residence in the first 100 block of Highwater Path.

When emergency workers arrived at the address they found a deceased man. He has been identified as 54-year-old Reynaldo Ramirez.

Milles Anthony Ramirez, a 31-year-old male of Winnipeg, has been charged with second degree murder.

Murray would not comment on the relation between the two men other than they are family members.

"It's an unfortunate incident," Murray says. "You feel for the family who's lost at least one family member, and depending on how you look at it likely a second member too. I think right now, you really feel for the family and what the family's going through.

"Investigators have a pretty good idea of what happened in the residence but they don't necessarily have a great idea of why it happened. That's something that will form part of the investigation going forward and may come out when the case goes to court."
